Open Source Network Virtualization

This self-introduction is long overdue, so here we go! My name is Sandro Mathys and I’m the new MidoNet Community Manager at project-sponsor Midokura. As such I’m exclusively tasked with fostering our young community! Doing so, I keep myself busy spreading the word about MidoNet, and facilitating collaboration in the project among many other things. Frankly, I’m currently somewhat the community’s maid of all work (that no other contributor is picking up). That said, please don’t expect that I’m an expert in everything or even just equally good at everything. I’m most certainly not – and that’s why we need YOU! Looking forward to collaborating with all of you, even the smallest contributions count. See you on MidoNet Slack or on one of our mailing lists!

About myself

In case you’re wondering about myself, I’m a 30-year old Swiss based in central Tokyo, Japan. Professionally, I’ve worked both as a Java Software and a Linux Systems Engineer in the past. In the latter role, I’ve first come in touch with clouds and even participated in an OpenStack proof of concept project. Furthermore, I’m a long-standing contributor to the Fedora and RDO projects, and have been involved with the OpenStack and Puppet OpenStack communities.
